• Develop electrical schematics and coordinate printed wiring board (PWB/PCB) layouts.
• Conduct circuit analysis, troubleshooting, integration, verification, and testing.
• Use engineering lab equipment including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, network analyzers, and power meters, plus related test tools.
• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and production engineering teams.
• Support production, perform root cause investigations, and drive design improvements.
• Participate in design reviews, technical decision making, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Document designs, test results, and engineering analyses throughout the development lifecycle.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or another STEM discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience (or Master's degree with 3+ years).
• U.S. Person status required due to ITAR regulations.
